    Re: Other Artists not currently in the Vault

    I agree with a previous post here: I would love to see more of the older concerts posted, especially from more obscure groups, and less of an emphasis on material from the Dead and Airplane, stuff that has long been in circulation among tape traders.  I have always wondered - and maybe it has been answered elsewhere in the forums - how the Vault team goes through the thousands of recordings and prioritizes them for upload here?  Is there are itemized list of the entire collection, including material that has not been uploaded?  It seems like a massive undertaking.  When the Vault was first launched I had anticipated more material from the two Fillmores and the Winterland, but it seems as time has gone on more of a preference has been giving to material from the '70s and '80s.  Whatever the case, I would like to see more obscure stuff from that earlier era from groups not currently represented, as well as more from performers who are represented here already, such as Lee Michaels, Mother Earth, Sly and the Family Stone, who - unlike the Airplane, Dead, and Quicksilver, do not have extensive live material floating around tape trade (and now torrent) circles.  In sum, please give us more of the concerts represented in your extensive collection of concert posters!
